BONE DENSITOMETRY (DEXA)
//////////////////////////
At Salmiya Clinic, we offer Bone Densitometry (DEXA) scans to assess bone health and detect conditions like osteoporosis. DEXA scans measure bone mineral density, helping us identify small changes in bone mass.
Why DEXA Scans Matter
- Diagnose osteoporosis and assess fracture risk
- Monitor bone health over time
- Identify bone loss or changes in bone density
Who Should Get a DEXA Scan?
- Postmenopausal women
- Men with risk factors for osteoporosis
- Individuals with a family history of osteoporosis
- Those taking medications that may affect bone density
HOW DOES DEXA WORK?
During a DEXA exam:
- You'll lie comfortably on a padded table, face up.
- Remain still during the exam for accurate results.
- Breathe normally throughout the procedure.
What to Expect
- Scanning of the spine and femur, common fracture sites.
- The scanner will pass over your lower spine, hip, or forearm.
- No discomfort or sensations during the exam.
Benefits of DEXA
- Accurate assessment of osteoporosis risk.
- Helps prevent fractures and osteoporotic complications.

MAMMOGRAM
A screening mammogram helps detect breast cancer in the early stages, before it has spread. Screening mammograms are recommended annually for women who are 40 years or older, as well as those who may be at higher risk for breast cancer (e.g., family history). The exam takes about 15 minutes and usually includes taking two radiographic images of each breast. A diagnostic mammogram provides a more detailed X-ray of the breast.
ULTRASOUND
- Distinguishes between cystic (fluid-filled) and solid structures
- Excellent for targeted examinations
- Relatively low cost, making it a great first-line testing option
Applications
- Solid internal organs: liver, pancreas, spleen
- Reproductive organs
- Thyroid
- Fetal imaging during pregnancy
